Summit Objectives

We are witness to very exciting times, where the financial services distribution landscape is changing, with distribution getting disaggregated. The 7th edition of the CII Financial Distribution Summit aims to identify the loopholes in the current state of distribution models, identify the potential end states for redefined distribution models, and identify the path to be taken to meet these redefined financial distribution objectives.

The Summit seeks to address the following:

Discuss frameworks and regulations with the objectives of encouraging efficient outcomes in India
